Hey I have a question, sorry if I sound like a newb, I am.
I’m interested in a 2021 or 2022 m4 comp.
I previously leased a 2015 x4 that I bought in 2016 that I returned 2 months ago with no missed payments(credit score was around 670 at purchase, new mortgage).
I wanted to know where my score should be if I wanted to lease a m4? Could I walk in there at around 650? Would my mortgage and bmw history get me over or should I try and get my score higher before going in?
Also I know most of the deals with dealerships, brokers, etc are based on a 700+ score but at 650, is it a higher monthly payment and down payment or is it a hard no?
Are you familiar with money factors? and credit tiers?
At a lower credit tier, buyrate is bumped. Dealer MF markups can be added on top of that of course. You can find the exact amount your payment would increase by if you set up a couple leasehackr calculators.
If you aren’t familiar with MF, buyrate, and the leasehackr calculator, I’d suggest reading leasing 101. You’ll save yourself a lot of money and headache by doing so
I can’t speak to the credit question, but many dealers are marking up the money factor for even Tier 1 credit scores. So if you can even find an allocation, chances are they will try to mark up the MF. And as mentioned above, you would be looking at $1200 + monthly payment right now on these cars.
